SHEN Zhiyuan-Regarding to use the effective Kirshhoff plate property to model a microbeam
I am studying the vibrational behaviour of a microbeam made of a polymer (Fig. 1). I came across your paper "Equivalent models of corrugated panels" and find the effective material modelling reported in that paper very helpful for solving my modelling problem. I got some problems that I want to seek for your advices.

A thermo-elasto-plastic theory for special Cosserat rods
A general framework is presented to model coupled thermo-elasto-plastic deformations in the theory of special Cosserat rods. The use of the one-dimensional form of the energy balance in conjunction with the one-dimensional entropy balance allows us to obtain an additional equation for the evolution of a temperature-like one-dimensional field variable together with constitutive relations for this theory. Reduction to the case of thermoelasticity leads us to the well known nonlinear theory of thermoelasticity for special Cosserat rods.

Discussion of fracture paper #19 - Fracture mechanical properties of graphene
Extreme thermal and electrical conductivity, blocks out almost all gases, stiff as diamond and stronger than anything else. The list of extreme properties seems never ending. The paper
